Bethlehem police found a flatbed tractor-trailer believed to be responsible for a hit-and-run accident that damaged two vehicles and injured at least one person.

The truck was traveling south about 12:30 this afternoon on Route 378 when it struck at least two vehicles. At least one person was taken away in an ambulance. Police said that person was being treated at St. Luke's University Hospital in Fountain Hill, but the extent of the injuries was unknown.

Bethlehem police tweeted about the crash on the department's official account, describing a truck that allegedly caused the wreck, but failed to stop.

The crash happened near the Second Street ramp on Route 378, police say. Bethlehem police closed Route 378 northbound at the Third Street ramp for about half an hour. The highway has since reopened, police report.

Police Chief Jason Schiffer said an officer pulled over a similar-looking truck in Bethlehem, which didn't turn out to be the offending vehicle. But the driver of that truck pointed police in the direction of a business where the truck could have been headed, according to Schiffer. Authorities found the vehicle on Riverside Drive just outside of the city, Schiffer said.

"Not to be cliche, but it was just good old-fashioned police work that caught the truck," Schiffer said.

The chief said he didn't have any information about what exactly happened in the crash, noting that officers investigating the wreck have some work to do yet. He said one of the drivers involved may have been impaired at the time of the wreck. It was too early to say if there would be any charges, Schiffer said.
